Method
 

Cooking Process
  1. Warm a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat for about 2 minutes until it shimmers.
  2. Pat each salmon fillet dry with paper towels, then season both sides lightly with salt and freshly cracked black pepper.
  3. In a small bowl, whisk together honey, soy sauce, sriracha, minced garlic, and grated ginger until smooth.
  4. Swirl a drizzle of oil in the hot pan, add fillets skin-side up, and cook 4–5 minutes until edges are golden brown.
  5. Flip each fillet carefully, brush generously with glaze, and cook 3–4 more minutes until the sauce caramelizes.
  6. Divide warm jasmine or brown rice among bowls, top with steamed broccoli and shredded carrots.
  7. Nestle each glazed fillet on your bed of rice and veggies, then garnish with sliced avocado and sliced green onions.
  8. Optional: Sprinkle toasted sesame seeds or squeeze lime wedges for a zesty finish.
